Watch Zombie Town For Free

good back-story, and good acting

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Great title, OK zombie flick.Two brothers run afoul of the hungry undead while on a tow truck run. Parasites are the cause of these zombies, much like in NIGHT OF THE CREEPS. Decent action, creepy zombie makeup and some gore although it could have been a lot worse in that last department. Without checking, I am guessing this was a first effort by those involved, possibly spun off of a student film. The young age of most of the actors and their unpolished performances, to put it mildly, point in this direction. There is a sequence near the end that put me in mind of both NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD and RESIDENT EVIL, and is just as suspenseful. Try it, you may like it.

I just saw this one last night and prepared me for the worst before crankin' on the 'ol DVD-player. Actually this is not bad, not bad at all in fact. Yes it surely belong in the low budget layer but despite a few shortcomings in different areas it comes out on top.So let's see...the quality of the image is clearly camcorder like(but could be far worse), a little stiff acting here and there, a few plot holes and various other small things work against it but fortunately doesn't manage to drag it down to the bottom. It appears that the actors and production crew has really tried to do their best despite lack of experience in certain areas. It feels very sincere, me thinks.This movie is clearly inspired by a few other "classics" like "Night of the creeps"(The leeches), George Romero's Zombie movies(namely Tom Savini's elastic flesh ripping) but i would really say that overall this movie reminds me more of the style of "28 Days later" than some of the old Zombie classics.All in all we get a nice package with lots of pretty well executed gore, some nudity, a love story, some stupid and/or illogical decisions by our heroes and a few funny moments; both intentional and unintentional(How about the sheriffs toilet visit, great!).So if you're going to watch this little movie don't expect award winning material here, just take it for what it is and you'll have a good time.I can tell you this, these guys and gals has made a far superior movie than our notorious friend Uwe boll did when doing "House of the dead" and this team made it with far less a budget than Mr Boll. Clearly you have to have talent to make a movie not just money.I tip my hat for the team behind "Zombie town" for making a good solid "Zombie" film which should please most other fans of this genre. I hope to see more from them.

Jake and his brother Denton have taken over their father's garage business, and they called upon a job to pick up an abandon vehicle out near the woods. It belongs to some locals camping in the woods, so before taking it, they check if they are still in the area, but they come across a cabin with dead corpses and one feral occupant with a craving for flesh. This starts some sort of strange infection, where his brother was bitten and suddenly it's effecting the whole tight-knit community. With no noway out of the town, because of a massive accident blocking there only way out. It's up to Jake, his ex-girlfriend Alex who has just arrived in town and cynically gun-proud Randy to stop what seems to be mysterious parasites turning the local citizens into blood-thirsty zombies, before they escape into the wider population.Nice! I'm glad I took the chance with this quite recent low-budget zombie splatter treat. Before getting it, I had it in and out of my hands, but I thought what the hell and it turned out rather enjoyable. All the prominent staples (and influences) are there; nauseating gore, flash of nudity, shots to head, zombie munching and icky zombie make-up effects. Romero's legacy definitely shines through, but the use of parasites brought up the 80's horror film "Night of the Creeps". Which I think this one owes a lot to. On that point, I see it playing out more like a homage, then a plain rip-off. Sure the senselessly blunt and token story is derivative with it's same old plot devices and developments (nothing like zombie slug-fest to ignite two old flames), but a thick dose of telegraphed morbid humour and smart-laced one liners were a welcoming inclusion. The plot doesn't matter too much. Comic cheese basically fills the amusing script, always timing itself for its next snappy one-liner and unbelievably ridiculous reactions. The origin and intentions of the parasites are cloudy drawn up, which might be a downer for some.Damon Lemay keeps the action pretty lively with many grisly details and few suspenseful jolts that do work, even with the surprisingly workable mock attitude to proceedings. Make-up effects are well captured, and while the computer generated effects look dodgy (truck accident), but they don't do any harm and are truly forgotten when the unpleasant zombie action breaks out. Camera-work sometimes can get trapped on zoom, but its frenetic style has control. Some interesting colour filtering strikes up some atmospheric visuals, and the adjustable soundtrack mixes it's country twang with heavy metal aching to the suitability of the scene. The performances might be amateurishly overacting, but they brought the right feel to their characters. The leads weren't bad. Dennis Lemoine gives the film it's punch with his dry remarks and gung-ho approach as Randy. Adam Hose in a blithely restraint turn is agreeable as Jake and Brynn Lucas is plays the gorgeously brainy chick Alex with decent amount of aplomb.Not bad, not bad at all. "Zombie Town" might not be original and one to ponder on, but this fodder is enthusiastically made by genre fans who have seen too many zombie films and there's nothing wrong with that. This Indie film is well worth a look.

I just rented this the other day on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. Plotwise it's pretty standard issue. Small, isolated town. Small group of survivors. Zombie hordes eating them one by one. You know how it goes. What separates this from some of the other zombie movies I've seen, however, is that the filmmakers seem to have a pretty good sense of humor about what they're doing. The characters are pretty funny (particulaly Randy) and some of the scenarios are definitely done tongue and cheek. I wouldn't say it's quite as over the top as Brain Dead, but it's in that vein. All in all, there are some good jokes, some solid gore, and some pretty ambitious action sequences towards the end. Perhaps a little slow getting started, but once it did I liked it a lot. 7.5 stars out of 10.
